The first gateway into the palace, Woldae was a place for
royal return ceremonies, military events, and state exams.

Isn't it amazing? Let's pass through Heungnyemun Gate and go further inside the palace!
③ Third Spot - Yeongjegyo Bridge
A pious bridge
A bridge that lies beyond Heungnyemun Gate. The real location no longer has water below it,
yet in the Land of the Morning Light, water flows below it.
Shall we cross it together?
Before officially meeting the king, Yeongjegyo Bridge is there to wash away the bad and attract righteousness, along with the cute Cheonroks that are for warding off bad intentions!
④ Fourth Spot - Geunjeongjeon Hall
The residence of the king
Upon entering the courtyard close to Geunjeongjeon Hall, you can see the place where the king resides in the distance! Let's follow the path lined with rank stones, which indicate the officials' ranks!
Wow!! The grandeur of Geunjeongjeon Hall is truly impressive.
Let's hurry on inside!
This is where the king sits, the throne! Behind his throne is a screen called
"Sun and Moon and Five Peaks," as you can see, it depicts just that!
⑤ Fifth Spot - Gyeonghoeru Pavilion
A place for banquets and receptions
